‘Make Your Own Adventure’ Chocolate Bark – Just in Time for Christmas.

‘Festive Favourites’, the theme for this months – and may I add the CHRISTMAS (yay) – Sweet Adventures Blog Hop got me thinking. I love anything Christmas and anything sweet, which made picking something to write about rather difficult.

Christmas can often be stressful and busy and can creep up on even the most organized people. While I often take month’s dog earring and post-it marking Christmas themed books, some people don’t have the time or energy.

FEAR NOT!! There are a million ways to put festive flavours into a recipe that are easier than goggling ‘Last minute Christmas sweets’.

I love chocolate just as much as I love Chocolate and that is why I chose to post about a ‘make your own adventure’ type chocolate bark recipe. The idea is simple. Choose your favourite flavours and mix them together with some chocolate and BAM…you have a delicious and easy treat to bring to a Christmas party or give away as a gift.

The two that I chose for this occasion where obviously Christmas inspired and are a White Chocolate, Cranberry and Macadamia Bark, and a Dark Chocolate, Cherry and Coconut Bark. These flavours are classic, simple and delicious.

Drain the cherries and remove excess syrup, then dice the cherries into small pieces

Line a tray (I used a loaf tin to make thick bark) with greased backing paper

Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler until smooth.

Pour the melted chocolate into the lined tin.

Scatter the chopped cherries evenly over the chocolate then the coconut

Cool in the fridge until set

To serve break the bark up and enjoy the juicy, crunchy, roasty sweetness.

Not very complicated, huh? I think they are a perfect addition to any Christmas party.

When you’ve eaten way too much ham, roast veggies, prawns and christmas pudding, you’ll always be able to squeeze in a little chocolate. So instead of store bought truffles or something of that kind, make something a little special this year.

Merry Christmas all – I wish good food and drink for you all

These look so good!! I was thinking that white choc chunks would have been really good in my cranberry bars but I didn’t even think about swapping the walnuts for macadamias – brilliance. And the cherry/coconut looks even better. Thanks for joining the hop 🙂
